what do you guys think about driveshaft loops????

[BLZNBIG]

i was wondering what you guys thought of driveshaft loops??? because i was wondering if they helped out alot incase of breakage??? what do u guys think ? ? ?

[Kodiak450r]

i know on performance cars they are a must have. if you run a front and rear loop it'll save the underside of your vehicle in case of breakage. a spinning driveshaft will whip around wildly at any speed and cause some major wreckage. you can see for yourself if you have a universal joint for like a socket extension. put it in a drill or air gun and give it a go. it'll whip around quite violently causing damage.

I wish I had loops when I broke the yoke on the rear axle.

I use them they saved my butt a few times

Driveshaft loops are a great idea. I need to get off my butt and install some on my rig.

i have them on the  front of  mine,   i broke  the  side of  my trany  out  from my  drive shaft   swinging around.   soon to be on back.    safty is allways  good.

definately very good to had! blew up my front shaft at a bog, flung around and bent up my oil pan a little bit. it finally found itself a home between my spring hanger and the frame coulndt get that outta there!


Driveshaft loops are a GREAT thing to have when they break.

look up some videos on you tube.. when they go... they go out with a bang!

if your just muddin trail riding they are great. but if you ever plan on hittin the rocks they can be a hinderance as far as clearance goes. they are deffinatly a good investment if its not a rock crawler.

i hit oil pan to just to lasse to put them on but thanks for a reminder im going to do that this winter

[SteveP612]

I had them on the Jeep that I use to own but Im going to install them on the new truck this winter.  They are a great safety device.

i was at the local transmision shop today. they just had a 95 bronco come with a broken front driveshaft. for some yet unknown reason the front driveshaft locked up at about 60 miles per hour and gave  the driver  a new experience driving terror. the front shaft was in at least 4 pieces that i saw. after the bronco was up on the hoist the damage was more visable. shifting cable broke , transmision case broke, transfer case broke, front output yoke broke, 5 holes in floorboard from broken driveshaft spining out of contrtol, PRICELESS!!  i  was planning on putting loops on anyway , but now i  plan on putting 2 on each axle.

[blasterguy911]

yea they are a great idea makes it a pane in the but when you have to change the driveshaft but it will save you an oil pan

[homewrecker john]
